The hydrant could have been purchased by your local town, city or municipality and, if that is the case, they are responsible for paying for the majority of repairs. Privately owned hydrants are the financial responsibility of the property owner. If you are not sure if your hydrant is publicly or privately owned, you can contact your water company or local government to ask about the last inspection as ownership information is provided.

Kind of. Because fire hydrants are municipal property, you cannot "own" a fire hydrant. It is not yours, even though it may be in your yard. Municipal codes prohibit you from making any changes to the fire hydrant. You can't repaint it, grow tomatoes around it or do whatever you like with it. If you tamper with a fire hydrant, you might be charged with vandalism.
